Recently I was playing in a tourney which had gone on break. The restart coincided with hand for hand play. This particular MTT was paying out to 36th place. I had around 32,000 in chips, and the blinds were at 1500 and 3000 when I picked up AKs. It was the very first hand back in, and to make matters worse, I was UTG. I checked the lobby real quick, and no one seemed about to go bust. Most even had way more chips than me. I decided to go ahead and shove. I got a loose call from a big stack with KQos and doubled through, but I quickly wondered if I had made the right decision. Would I always be able to find out if anyone else were close to busting out? Can u do this in a live tourney? Should I care about just getting into the money? What would other better players do in this spot? Let me know what you think.
